In 1996, I started my first Taco Shack in Austin after pursuing the dream of having a family owned business since my high school years. Soon, my wife, Yoli, and I had a group of dedicated employees and several new “Shacks” to spread our great Tex-mex taste around Austin! Always, we appreciate your business and stop by if you’re in the neighborhood and say hello to our other family members.
Sincerely,
Orlando and Yoli Arriaga

Orlando and Yoli Arriaga
Orlando Arriaga grew up in Austin and is an alumnus of McCallum High School. He met Yoli while the two were attending St. Edward’s University. As former teachers, the couple feels deeply committed to supporting local schools. They focus most of Taco Shack’s promotional dollars on school sponsorships, such as the annual “Taco Shack Bowl” football game between rivals McCallum and Anderson high schools.
Orlando and Yoli Arriaga opened their first Taco Shack in 1996 at 4412 Medical Parkway in a small Central Austin building that formerly housed a barbecue restaurant. They have more recently expanded to the latest Taco Shack Express on W. Anderson Lane in Austin, TX.
